The S$337.8 million acquisition of the newest batch of Bombardier Transportation trains, announced by the Land Transport Authority on Monday , is the latest in a series of efforts to improve the reliability of the two lines. “By combining the purchase of the replacement trains, we achieve economies of scale which lowers the purchase and operating costs of the trains,” Transport Minister Ong Ye Kung said at the signing ceremony for the contract at rail operator SMRT’s Bishan Depot.
They will enter service from 2022 to 2026, and will make up 53 per cent of the trains on the NSEWL when fully introduced. Bombardier and SMRT Trains on Monday also signed an agreement for the Canadian firm to provide technical support and spare parts for train repairs and system upgrades or replacements for 10 years, with the option for future contract extensions.
